Inspired by the Artemis II mission to the Dark Side Of The Moon, I got Claude to help me write a Solar System and Space Mission Simulation, running in web at https://pcwilliams.design/solarsystem, documented at https://pcwilliams.design/dev/solarsystem-web/architecture.html with full source on GitHub. I didn’t know three.js 3d graphics, much web programming or Kepler planetary maths, so this was an awesome learning experience for me. @shanselman’s awesome talk at NDC Toronto persuaded me to submit this here!
Blast off into a stunning, real-time solar system simulator that uses actual NASA textures and orbital mechanics to bring planets, moons, stars, and space missions to life right in your browser—no rocket science degree needed!
Key features:
- 🪐 Real-time accurate planetary positions with NASA textures
- 🌟 8,404 real stars with constellation fidelity
- 🚀 Interactive space mission timelines and live telemetry
- 📱 Touch-friendly controls for desktop and mobile exploration
